Six prodigies attend Kanezono Academy of Music, each with a mysterious past and a “color” tied to their soul’s melody. The story follows Ren Hayami, a withdrawn violinist who hasn’t played since his sister’s suicide. On his first day, he hears her melody echoing through the old concert hall—played perfectly by a girl he’s never met.
Soon, Ren and the other students are drawn into the “Symphony of Souls”, a ritual that binds their emotions to music. Every performance drains something from them—memories, feelings, or fragments of life itself. To graduate, they must each compose their Final Piece, but the truth is grim: only one can complete it, and the rest will vanish into their own unfinished songs.

The combined auras of Ren, Ema, Rei, and Nagi blazed like fire through the chamber. Crimson, silver, blue, and violet threads intertwined perfectly, overcoming the shadows that had begun to consume them.


The piano, the violin, the flute, and the cello all resonated as one. Faint light spread through the chamber as the melody responded—not as a predator now, but as a sentient force, acknowledging their unity.


The shadows recoiled. The faint specters of the vanished students paused, observing. Somewhere deep beneath Kanezono Academy, the walls hummed with a new kind of power—a symphony of defiance.


The melody had acknowledged them… but the academy was far from finished.
